    My suggestion.. Go through the members ride thread and find what YOU like.. Don't have someone design your car for you. Go through the safely modding thread as well and it should have plenty of information for you.

    If you don't want something that sounds bad then stay stock!

    Do P-log and downpipe or headers and that is it.

    Incorrect. They will fit any of our motors. eBay sucks for capability descriptions.

    I would prefer not to because my tires come out just barely farther then my fenders so I dont want them hitting my tires and bending or cutting them

    245/35 (unless you're running 20s) is the wrong tire size to begin with. it's too short, by an increasing amount the smaller your wheel size.

    i ran 245/45/18 with zero issues being lowered about 2.5". i had to roll my fenders a little bit, but that's a piece of cake.

    roll yer fenders so they dont rub. thats what the lowered guys do.

    but if your N/a i wouldn't even touch the exhaust unless you go turbo or top swap. modding a n/a engine is not all its cracked up to be.


    if you buy headers, they come with a new down pipe. but no cat, you'll have to install one if you need one to pass inspection if applicable.

    I went with a plog, downpipe, and the hv3. I also lowered my car. And even though the intake and exhaust mods gave the car a little more pep, the biggest improvement would have to be lowering it. Best visual and performance modification you can do in my opinion.
